If I need to lift up the wheelchair to pass the edge or stair, are there anything that I can use it like foot pads? Thanks.

Yes. I just used this model of Drive transport wheelchair for a 3-day weekend with my father. If you look at the photos, each side has a rubber-padded tube extending in the back just inside each rear wheel. You can push down on either one with a foot while you pull back the handles at the top with your hands. This helps lift the chair over a small bump or ridge. Just be careful! This isn't meant for off-roading. ;)

Hmm. Not sure what you mean by foot pads and can't say that I have an answer for you, especially since I gave the chair I had away years ago. But, as I remember, going UP or OVER the edge of something on a fairly level or slightly elevated surface was not too hard because there were two protrusions from the rear of the chair. If you stepped on one to tilt the chair up, you could roll the front wheels over the edge and then lift and push the rear wheels over the edge. This won't work going DOWN. Most places have ramps.

There is a footstep on the back to allow you to easily tilt the chair back to go up over a curb or one stair.

My Dad used this item to move my Mom from car to wheelchair when she was unable to exit the vehicle following knee replacement. She is taller and heavier than the height and weight you've listed for your mother-in-law. If he had not had this transfer seat, he would have likely needed to have our local EMT's called to assist with her transfer. Also, when we had found this and were considering getting it, I had a cousin that saw it, and she exclaimed loudly to us, that "those things WORK and I know because I've used them with elderly patients".

I found the easiest way to take my dog out of the wheelchair was to unhook the harness snaps on the sides of the frame. Then I would simply release the front clips that are attached to his front harness. As for your dog being able to manage steps, that would depend on your dogs upper body strength. You might have to hold onto the wheelchairs frame and assist with steps.

I don't see why not, but don't really know. I do know that one should not bear the cost for a whole new chair. Right now it is something that I have to check out for my regular wheelchair as the tread is all worn and it slips on smooth surfaces. On a transport chair I would think this could be critical as the person being transported has no control of the chair and the brakes don't seem to be as strong.

Black magic anti-skid tape would work good for something like the wheelchair foot rest.

Rommel, I would not use the ramp for a step higher than 6". If I were you I would call a medical supply house ( wheelchairs, etc,) to check. I know the manufacturer of the ramp makes longer ramps for higher steps.

For most wheelchairs, you would lift up the fabric in the two back corners of the seat. Remove the screws and use them to attach the safety belt.

Always ensure you have something to hold on to when using the Upeasy lifting cushion. For best results, use in a stable armchair or sofa.Upeasy is not recommended for use in wheelchairs, automobiles or office chairs with non-lockable wheels.Upeasy may be used in a reclining style chair, but only in the upright position.

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from.I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

i put one foot in a handle like a stirrup and do leg presses. With your foot still in the handle you can also lift leg up toward ceiling and lower it slowly. Works great just have to make sure your foot doesn't slide out of handle.

The ramp edge is 1¾ inches high. I can't answer the second part because I am using a Transport Chair, not a Wheelchair.

I'm guessing that you mean "legrests", as opposed to armrests? I never remove the armrests, though it seems that they can be pulled up and out, if desired. The legrests can just be folded outward (each one has a simple latch) for patient transfer, but I typically remove them (easy), because they can otherwise flap about while I'm folding the wheelchair and placing it into the trunk of the car.

I don't believe this would be an effective exercise apparatus for those who use a wheelchair. This pole is too long. I suggest the Body Blade. It is much shorter and would work for someone who uses a wheelchair because it would not hit the floor the way this item would. The body blade is more expensive but so worth it.

We lift and move ours all the time, no problem. But it's kind of an awkward shape to carry up & down a long staircase. Maybe if you did it all the time you'd get used to it - I don't know.

While agreeing with the other 2 answers I see here, you need to realize you will have a 15 degree slope, which works very well with an assistant rolling a wheelchair up or down the ramp, but I would think that is too steep to manage either up or down unassisted.

The risers snap into the step, so yes you can lift up to move it without removing them. Hope that helps :)
